Alley Cat - Charlie Daniels

Every night downtown on the streets of the city

When the midnight hour is coming on

You’ll see her come slinking down the alley in a tight dress

She’ll walk them streets till the break of dawn

Well she’ll slip away fore the sun starts rising

When the daylight comes she’s going to be long gone

Don’t you ever come down here looking for trouble

Cause trouble is the ladies middle name

You may think you’re bad but let me tell you something

There ain’t no way you’re going to play her game

She’ll make you feel like a fool with a hole in your pocket

Like you’ve been run over by a choo-choo train

She purrs and she growls and she rambles and she prowls

And she’s evil and she’s mean like a misery machine

She’s a little bit of this and a whole lot of that like an alley cat

Better stay away from the midnight lady

She’ll leave you standing on the corner with a mess of the blues

She’s an accident looking for a place to happen

She’ll make you an offer that you can’t refuse

If she ever gets them claws into you

She’ll turn you every which a way but loose
